Milo Yiannopolour barred from Australia

[Bricktop]

We are advised by our news service that our effete and delicate Government proposes to bar raconteur and right wing activist (one of the few) Milo Yiannopolous from entering Australia for a series of public talks (again...he was here last year).



On his last tour, the rabble gathered outside his venue in Melbourne to "protest". The Victorian Police then sent Milo a bill for their presence because it was HIS fault the socialists were rioting in the street.



Wisely, Milo refused to pay.



However, on yet another attack on freedom of speech, this time they want to keep him out. Consequently, I have sent the letter below to the relevant Federal Government minister.



"Dear Minister...I refer to your reported intent to refuse a visa application submitted by Milo Yiannopolous to enter Australia for the purposes of conducting a series of public talks. As one of the (apparently) many Australians incapable of rational thought, let alone judgment and common sense, I am grateful to you for protecting me against ideas and speech that may cause me to question the policies and social management of the government. I cannot imagine how conflicted and disharmonious I would become if I were to hear dissenting opinions and viewpoints to that of the government imposed status quo. Clearly, too many ideas and too much contradiction will lead to the collapse of Australian society. Thank you also for protecting me from potential civil disruption by enlightened academics, unionists and socialist activists whose activities (despite being unlawful) cannot be disrupted. It is clear that only these dissidents are qualified to tell us what to think.



Now that I am aware that only the rabble have a valid reason to be concerned about how our society is managed and how social issues should be resolved, I can cease thinking for myself. I shall sleep much easier knowing that my cogitations and concerns are being taken care of.



Finally, I do hope my letter to you does not contravene any freedom of speech legislation. I would hate to cause offence."

Is Maxine Waters barred from Aus? If not, she should be if Milo is barred.

[Bricktop]

Dunno.



Don't think she's ever tried to visit.

Something tells me, she would not be barred. She does advocate violence.

Let the little fairy speak in Australia. I mean Milo, not Ms Peaches.

I have neither desire nor intent to attend his dissertations.



However, I am increasingly angry at the constant attempt to stifle speakers from the right, while leftist rabble rousers, muslim clerics, unionists, feminists and aboriginal activists are free to spew their hatred.



Freedom of speech is far more important than who is speaking.



I would be just as agitated if a socialist was barred, merely for being a socialist.



We have a world renowned holocaust denier here in Adelaide. He talks a lot of crap, and has been arrested for speaking his mind. I am disturbed by the principle of stifling speech you don't like.

I think it's dangerous for governments to decide who gets to speak and who doesn't..



Unless of course they are advocating violence.

Milo can be pretty funny. A lot of people try to take him too literally.

I don't know much about him, but I see no reason why he should be barred..



In North America, violent people try to attack him, not the other way around.

[Bricktop]

The Left hates him...and he thrives on it.



That does not mean he has no right to speak.



Quite the opposite.



No reply from the idiot Minister yet.

Berkely had riots because that guy spoke.

I;m glad you wrote a letter on it.  Too often people do nothing.



This is one of the biggest changes in the left --they used to be strong defenders of free speech, now they are its biggest threat.

Seoul has said the same too Wazzzup.

That was the first big antifa riot that I remember in the US.  The lefties decided because Milo was speaking at Berkeley that entitled them to set fires and beat people.  The local leftist mayor told the police to stand down and not arrest anyone so the antifa goons would get away with it.
